We have been crucified with Christ--our old man--slave to sin--has been replaced by the new man!

[Delivered]

Q5. (Galatians 2:20) In what sense have we been "crucified with Christ"?

The wages of sin is death, God's laws reveals to us what sin is, sin is disobedience to God's precepts, the "good news" is, we who have been "crucified" with Christ, those wages were paid in full when “Grace” came down, and the "God of Israel" sent His Son.

What does that mean?

It means, we who have been “crucified with Christ" are now no longer under the law, perversion of the law that turns God's precepts into a heavy Yoke, however, we who have been "crucified with Christ” have found God's laws now not to be a heavy yoke, we find it is easy and we find we are now hungering and thirsting after God's precepts, to love and please him for sending to us, His Son. -

Romans 3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.

In what sense do "I no longer live"?

The sense that "I no longer live" is revealed in the fact that I no longer walk in the precepts of "sin" – sin that held me in its grip - Christ’s righteousness has saved me from sins hold.

"I no longer live" because I have new desires, a new creature is coming alive.

"I no longer live" because I now am hungering after God's precepts, to follow and obey them.

“I no longer live” because the grace of God is calling me unto that of righteousness.

Whose life now motivates us?

Christ living in me is my motivation.

How does this verse relate to Paul's closing comments about the "new creation" (Galatians 6:15)?

It relates to the fact that we Gentile's have been circumcised spiritually since it was done not with hands but through the Messiah, he has stripped away the foreskin, the old natures control, and now we can rule over it, it does not mean that spiritual circumcision has replaced the physical circumcision for the Jewish believers, it means, the Gentile Christians are full members of God's people because Christ is living in them.

What does Galatians 2:20 teach about Christ's attitude toward us?

Christ's attitude toward us is seen in His love, when Christ was executed on the stake as a criminal, so was I.

I was the one found guilty, and yet He paid "my price" and grace set me free, how good it feels to be set free from that guilty verdict, to be set free from the old nature, with its evil desires, my "faith" in the Son of God is what holds me in his grace, and the debt I feel on my heart is the debt of “love” – It feels so good.

How does this verse relate to Paul's closing comments about the "new creation" (Galatians 6:15)? What does Galatians 2:20 teach about Christ's attitude toward us?

We have been crucified with Christ in the sense that we have died to ourselves, to sin, to living like we once did when we did not know God. I no longer live from my own desires, my own cravings, my own philosophy or by the precepts of the world. I live through the Spirit of Christ living in me. He gives me desires, cravings according to God's will in my life, I live according to the precepts of the Word. The life of Christ now motivates us. This verse relates to the new creation comment, in that he says that whether we are from the law or from outside the law, what matters is salvation through faith and living the new life afterwards. Here after being crucified, Jesus lives again-a new life. We too have that new life, leaving behind old ways. This verse teaches us that what Jesus for us, he did so willingly, out of great love for us.

[Travis63]

In what sense have we been "crucified with Christ"?

Romans 6 in context affirms what is said here, Romans 6:6-18 paints a clearer picture so to speak. We are to surrender to Him, to unit with Him, to surrender all our efforts to His work. " I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live" we just as Paul acknowledged cannot save ourselves, we are crucified as we adhere to this truth. The Law does not save, that was never it's intent. Not only are we JUSTIFIED / FORGIVEN of past sins through Christ work on the cross, He also through this act fulfilled the acceptable requirement. Thus for those whom believed if the faith of Jesus the Christ the requirements that were a shadow are no longer required.

Justification includes two elements, pardon, forgiven of our past sins, and the new-birth experience in which we are transformed by the Holy Spirit. When we are justified, we die to The Law in the sense that we are no longer under its condemnation, nor are we misusing it as the means of righteousness and salvation.

What does that mean?

As we are in Christ Jesus we, nor anyone on our behalf are required or asked to performs physical acts for forgiveness. Hebrews 7:27; 9:28; 10:10.

In what sense do "I no longer live"?

Paul as should we now lives by and through this truth. He nor should we perform any of the Ceremonial Laws physically or cut away flesh physically in hopes to identify with Christ. Jesus' work on the cross satisfies any ceremonial requirement we are to live differently having this knowledge. Being pardoned, forgiven we are to live a justified by faith, on the righteousness of Christ. Daily moment by moment our desire should be to live in the process of sanctification by the quickening influences of the Holy Spirit. We are to walk /live in newness of life.

Whose life now motivates us?

Jesus

How does this verse relate to Paul's closing comments about the "new creation" (Galatians 6:15 " We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles,")?

Man's spiritual birth has a greater value than his physical, God has always desired circumcision of the heart, He provided the Ceremonial Laws as a shadow, it was never given to replace the real purpose.

What does Galatians 2:20 teach about Christ's attitude toward us?

He loved us, His creation and He loves us! He wants to be in close relationship with us.

Q5. (Galatians 2:20) In what sense have we been “crucified with Christ”? What does that mean? In what sense do “I no longer live”? Whose life now motivates us? How does this verse relate to Paul’s closing comments about the “new creation” (Galatians 6:15)? What does Galatians 2:20 teach about Christ’s attitude toward us?

It means we don't have to try to get salvation by keeping the law anymore.

In this sense, we're dead to sin and to the effects of sin (i.e. hell).

See also Romans 6:1-14.

[JanMary]

Q5. (Galatians 2:20) In what sense have we been “crucified with Christ”? What does that mean?

When I received Christ as my Savior and Lord, the mystery hidden through the ages since Adam fell, is that Christ lives in me, the hope of Glory. His crucifixion was for me...He took my place and received the wrath of God poured out for my sins. In that sense, I "was crucified with Christ", because I have chosen Him. (In response to Him choosing me)

In what sense do “I no longer live”? Whose life now motivates us?

He lives in me, and I've surrendered my life and will to Him, so I no longer live, but He lives through me and motivates and moves me.

How does this verse relate to Paul’s closing comments about the “new creation” (Galatians 6:15)?

Since it's His gift of GRACE that saves me, I am a new Creature in Him, and am no longer under bondage to the Law. He paid the price by fulfilling every "jot and tittle" of the law, so that I can now live in grace and freedom from guilt, and works of the flesh.

What does Galatians 2:20 teach about Christ’s attitude toward us?

When I take Communion, each time, I'm moved to tears when I remember that on the night He was betrayed, He took bread, representing His body, and gave thanks that He was going to be broken and His blood would be shed for me! That love is so amazing that it's difficult to put into words. He loved me so much as He looked into the future and saw me, that He was willing to suffer, die, and be buried, knowing that when He rose, I would be His bride!

Q5. (Galatians 2:20) In what sense have we been “crucified with Christ”? What does that mean? In what sense do “I no longer live”? Whose life now motivates us? How does this verse relate to Paul’s closing comments about the “new creation” (Galatians 6:15)? What does Galatians 2:20 teach about Christ’s attitude toward us?

When Christ was sent by God to live and walk in human form He was sent for one reason, that reason was to be our savior, by grace. God's only son was his gift to all of mankind. Christ dying on the cross sealed a new covenant between God and his people.The new covenant released all of humankind from the bondage of the law.The terms God set forth in his new covenant and sealed with the blood of Christ and sent by grace are simply,: Believe what he says about Jesus Christ, turn from your life of self-reliance and put your confidence totally in Christ to wash you clean of sin, clothe yourself with righteousness. We are adopted by God, we become heirs, part of His family, the household, the Kingdom of God. . When Jesus died on the cross He took all the sins of mankind with Him.

As new Christians we are baptized and accept Jesus as our savior (for me it was by means of full water immersion baptism, for others it is different) But the meaning must always be the same. As people we have come to the conclusion that we want to know Christ, we seek revelation, we seek redemption and sanctification. When I was baptized I died at the bottom of the lake .I was not "re' born when I came up from the water. I was BORN for the very first time as a new creation in Christ, at the bottom of the brook I experienced spiritual death, death along with the death of Christ on the cross and all my sins,forgiven as Christ and I took our last breath together. When I immersed from the water I felt the Holy Spirit ( the breath of God breathing new life into me through His Holy Spirit). It was the most amazing thing that ever happen to me.I literally felt the Spirit enter me. I was a baby in the arms of Christ. God breathed life into me and set forth a new creation. My life began on that day. I started off a baby, new from the womb, grow daily and continue to grow always in my relationship to Christ. My former life dead for all of time. Forgiven by grace. A new beginning .I am set free by the blood of Christ!

When Christ died on the cross He took with Him all the sins of mankind. He provided a way out for man of sinful life and a way to receive eternal life through his death. All we have to do is accept him and receive His love. That's it. We do not have to live by 'law'. That does not mean we are exempt from the law of the land. That means we are not required to live by any religious law. What is required by us as the heirs to the Kingdom of God is that we give love,Love one another, forgive others, confess our sins, repent, and ask for redemption,seek purification. Through Gods Holy Spirit we are sanctified and redeemed.

We do not have to adhere to customs such as circumcision or food laws or any religious laws to be adopted into God's Kingdom. What is important to God is that we love him and we love one another, that we forgive as his son forgave on the cross. That we seek redemption and ask for forgiveness of our sins, these are all matter of our heart. God wants our hearts, he doesn't care about our customs and rituals.

Whose life now motivates us?

How does this verse relate to Paul's closing comments about the "new creation" (Galatians 6:15)?

What does Galatians 2:20 teach about Christ's attitude toward us?

An amazing change takes place. By being crucified with Christ we are united to Christ in His sin-bearing death, our sinful past has been blotted out. As we read in 2 Cor 5:17, ‘old things are passed away, and ‘all things are become new.’ Once we have been united with Christ in His death, our old life is finished. We are a new creation. It is Christ who lives in us, giving us new desires for holiness, and for also God. We can sin again but we will not want to. Everything has changed. Christ’s attitude toward us changes as well – we are no longer sinners in His sight. We can truly say ‘it is no longer I who live but Christ who lives in me.’

[RodR]

Christ died in our place. When we identify with him in faith, we die to self and live for Him. We become increasingly motivated by the indwelling Holy Spirit and determine to become more and more Christ-like in our thoughts and actions. We are changed from the inside out and become a new creation. Christ’s love for me is demonstrated by His willingness to sacrifice His life in my place. He died so that I might live… Praise God!

Q5. (Galatians 2:20) In what sense have we been “crucified with Christ”? What does that mean? In what sense do “I no longer live”? Whose life now motivates us? How does this verse relate to Paul’s closing comments about the “new creation” (Galatians 6:15)? What does Galatians 2:20 teach about Christ’s attitude toward us?

Our old self has been put to death through Jesus on the cross. He took our sins upon Himself and offered a living sacrifice of His own blood to atone for our sin. When we are baptized, we symbolically show that we believe that we accept our faith in Jesus and that we die with Christ and are cleansed of our sins when we are immersed in the water. When we come up from the water (and the cleansing) we show we believe we are a new being, cleansed from sin, alive with Christ in us. Of course, this is symbolically done in different forms of baptism, sprinkling of water etc. but the meaning is the same. We no longer live as our old selves, ruled by our flesh, we live as Christ would live because Christ lives in us. His life now motivates us. The Holy Spirit now guides us into living out truth in our lives. We really don't want old sin in our lives anymore. Being a new creation means a transformation from what is old to something new. Our lives are change forever! No longer are we slaves to sin, but can overcome by the power of the Holy Spirit! Verse 6:15 states that "Neither circumcision nor un-circumcision means anything; what counts is the new creation." Paul is saying that all the outward show of religiously following any traditional law means nothing now. Even the opposite! Even if one "doesn't" follow traditional law! It is the changing of our hearts that counts. It is Christ in us and our new life living in Him. Verse 2:20 shows us that Christ's attitude towards us is one of love. A love so great that He gave Himself as a sacrifice for us so we can live and be accepted through His death. Amazing grace! And Paul states he refuses to set aside this grace for if righteousness could be gained through the law...then Christ died for nothing. A serious truth for us today to consider if we are ever thinking we earn anything or are good enough to deserve it!

Qt 5 - Cuando aceptamos la obra de Jesús su sacrificio estamos decidiendo ser su discípulo y uno con él. El bautismo significa una unión con él en su muerte y su resurrección. Si estamos en él. No siguimos viviendo El debe vivir por nosotros. Es un entrecambio de vidas. Hoy en día queremos este cambio sin cambio. No es posible. Si el está en nosotros hay evidencias de esta realidad. ¿Qué muestra en nuestras vidas que Jesús vive en nosotros? Estoy muy agradecido que Cristo nos ama y mostró su amor cuando éramos pecadores y viles en vez de ser una nueva creación. También él derrama su gracia sobre nosotros.

Q5. (Galatians 2:20) In what sense have we been "crucified with Christ"? What does that mean? In what sense do "I no longer live"? Whose life now motivates us? How does this verse relate to Paul's closing comments about the "new creation" (Galatians 6:15)? What does Galatians 2:20 teach about Christ's attitude toward us?

It is not possible for us to get cleaned up enough before we approach Christ to "discuss" our salvation. We must come as we are. Christ's love for us, a very sinfull creature, was so great that He willingly gave himself to face the punishment for sin. Our spirit was raised from the dead to be with Christ. Thus being born again we are a new creation. "I" no longer live-"I" being self-centered I can do it on my own. I was born defective, sinfull man. The only way that defect can be fixed is Christ. To trust and obey is the motivational force to free us from the bondage of sin.

[Janissi]

In what sense do "I no longer live"? Our will and our former lives. I'm no longer the boss of my life. I've turned it over to Christ.

Whose life now motivates us? Christ living within us. We have the Holy Spirit.

What does Galatians 2:20 teach about Christ's attitude toward us? He loved us enough to WILLINGLY go to the cross. Hallelujah!!! Even when I was an enemy, stinking with sin and ungodliness. He died for me. Wow!
